2. A conjunction is a word which connects two words or clauses or
sentences and shows the relation between them. They are used to
avoid making the text seem like bullet points and to make the text
flow.
For examples:
•Jai saw a dog on the road. He decided to adopt the dog. Jai
brought the dog home.
•Jai saw a dog on the road and decided to adopt the dog, so he
brought the dog home.

4. These conjunctions are used to link or join two words or phrases that are equally important
and complete in terms of grammar when compared with each other.
Coordinating Conjunctions Examples:
There are seven main coordinating conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
5. I told her to leave, for I was very tired.
There were ten or twelve people in the room.
The bowl of squid eyeball stew is hot and delicious.
Her advice seems strange, yet I believe she’s right.
We can neither change nor improve it.
You may delay, but time will not.
As you make your bed, so you must lie upon it.
6. These conjunctions are used to join an independent and complete clause with a dependent
clause that relies on the main clause for meaning and relevance. The dependent clause
cannot exist on its own as a sentence and often does not make sense without the main
clause.
7. I have great/the greatest respect for his ideas, although I don’t agree with them.
The lion is not so fierce as he is painted.
Don’t cry out before you are hurt.
Once I’ve found somewhere to live I’ll send you my address.

9. Correlative Conjunctions are simply pairs of conjunctions used in a sentence to join different
words or groups of words in a sentence together.
For examples:
Both the shoes and the dress were completely overpriced.
Either her parents or she is invited to the party tonight.
Neither I nor you are right.
She is not only beautiful but also intelligent.
